Organisations measure experience by time – and that time is usually spent in the workplace. But we all know someone can spend weeks and years in their pods and learn almost nothing. Yet, when people are faced with life challenges where they have to tap into qualities and skills they didn’t have or even know they could do – this doesn’t seem to count. Those of us who have had to deal with divorce, caregiving, or faced a life-threatening illness know this to be true. But frequently these experiences are discounted. It is time organisations and Recruiters consider life experience in hiring decisions to build a more diverse, empathetic, and capable workforce - Read on >>>

We frequently dismiss certain behaviours of sexism and sexual harassment as low-grade and not serious. This included flashing, upskirting, groping, and inappropriate comments which may seem minor to some people or might be dismissed as "harmless."  But it's foolish to ignore or downplay them. These actions are far from innocent and can often act as gateway behaviours to more serious sexual crimes and violent acts. By understanding how these actions escalate, we can better recognise the importance of addressing all forms of sexual misconduct early on. International statistics show disturbing connections between certain "gateway" sexual behaviours and more serious crimes of sexual aggression. Behaviours such as public or cyber flashing, upskirting, and catcalling, which are often dismissed as minor or non-criminal in many countries,  can escalate into more violent actions.

We undervalue work inside the home which has traditionally been “women’s work.” This economic model is outdated and no longer fit for purpose. The unequal valuation of work inside and outside the home is a lingering social construct, and in today’s world, there is a compelling case to recognise the significance of all types of work equally. When is work not work? That is the question Why do we continue to undervalue work inside the home? https://buff.ly/3Tjv4gA #invisiblework #householdmanagment #3plusint

Many of you who know me have followed my relationship with gratitude. Before COVID I had probably only paid it passing attention. Of course, I expressed appreciation when I should, but I hadn't made expressing gratitude part of my everyday journaling activity. It was perhaps lockdown and isolation that brought on this introspection, but every day I make a point of noting what I need to be grateful for. And there was a lot! However the neuroscience of gratitude and anxiety reveals fascinating insights into how these seemingly opposite emotions affect our brain. While anxiety often triggers stress and worry, gratitude has the potential to counterbalance those feelings by promoting calm and well-being. Understanding the brain mechanisms behind both can shed light on how gratitude can be a powerful tool to reduce anxiety. Read on by Dorothy Dalton via 3Plus International >> https://buff.ly/4eGOy6J

When we talk about the hiring process, the term "candidate experience" often takes the spotlight. However, it's equally important to consider the "applicant experience," which refers to the experience of those who express interest in a job but don't make it to the next stage of becoming candidates. These are job seekers who apply, submit their resumes, or complete initial assessments but are never invited further into the process to become candidates. Ignoring the applicant's experience can harm an organisation's reputation and potential to build a strong talent pipeline, especially when it comes to female talent. Yet, very often they are overlooked. Looking after the applicant experience is essential for long-term success in building a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline.

Why we need Male Allyship We live in a time where astonishingly women are still struggling to gain the success, respect and recognition they deserve in the workplace. The need for support from male allies is greater than ever. Male allyship refers to men who actively support and advocate for gender equality, challenge sexism and misogyny, and work towards creating a more equitable society for all genders. Male allyship is vital to women who face systemic gender inequality and discrimination across all areas of life on a daily basis. This includes the workplace, educational institutions, in our social and cultural norms, and even personal relationships. Women have been advocating for equal rights and opportunities for centuries, and while progress has been made, there is still a long way to go. Listen to this podcast. Dorothy Dalton is joined by Robert Baker, CEO of Potentia Talent Consulting and renowned D&I Strategist and Male Ally, a leading authority on male allyship. They discuss what this means, some practical advice for men who want to become male allies, and tips for women who need their support. https://buff.ly/42htfT6 #maleallies #maleallyship #genderbalancedworkplaces #3plusint #inclusiveworkplaces
